2.5-Year changes of connectivity dynamism are relevant for physical and cognitive deterioration in multiple sclerosis.

Background: In MS, functional connectivity (FC) dynamism may influence disease evolution.

Objectives: The objective is to assess time-varying functional connectivity (TVFC) changes over time at 2.5-year follow-up in MS patients according to physical and cognitive worsening.

Minors' Experiences Accessing Confidential Contraception in Texas.

Purpose: Texas is one of 24 states that restricts minors' ability to obtain contraception without parental consent, unless they access confidential services at federally funded Title X clinics. This study explores Texas minors' reasons for and experiences seeking confidential contraception.

Methods: Between September 2020 and June 2021, we conducted in-depth phone interviews with 28 minors aged 15-17 years.

Multi-proxy analysis suggests Late Pleistocene affinities of human skeletal remains attributed to Balzi Rossi.

In two publications from 1967 and 1971, M. Masali described human skeletal remains presumed to have been found in the Balzi Rossi caves (Ventimiglia, Italy), based on a signed note dated to 1908. Since then, the remains - dubbed "Conio's Finds" and preserved at the University of Torino - had not been further studied.

More data on ancient human mitogenome variability in Italy: new mitochondrial genome sequences from three Upper Palaeolithic burials.

Background: Recently, the study of mitochondrial variability in ancient humans has allowed the definition of population dynamics that characterised Europe in the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene. Despite the abundance of sites and skeletal remains few data are available for Italy.

Aim: We reconstructed the mitochondrial genomes of three Upper Palaeolithic individuals for some of the most important Italian archaeological contexts: Paglicci (South-Eastern Italy), San Teodoro (South-Western Italy) and Arene Candide (North-Western Italy) caves.
